PerformancesView Calendar
Artist Series Concert. The music of Franz Lehár's classic comes to life on stage with the countrymen of a wealthy widow scheming to keep her money in the principality by finding her "the right" husband. The operetta has enjoyed extraordinary international success since its 1905 premiere in Vienna.
Solos and duets from operas including Carmen, Baby Doe, La Boheme, The Pearl Fishers – with popular songs from My Fair Lady, Man of La Mancha, Aspects of Love, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and more…
Enjoy the hilarious comic antics of Chris Allison, award-winning hand-balancer Christian Stoinev and his canine cohort Scooby, the quick-change magical transformation act of Olga & Vladimir Smirnov, the magnificent "Queen of the Air," Dolly Jacobs, and more!
Enjoy the Opening Night performance of your choice before gathering in The Ringling Courtyard for Bolero Sarasota, a choreographic event starring more than 50 area dancers in a celebratory tribute to our city – all climaxing with our annual fireworks display.
From the seeds of conflict comes an inspiring collaboration, as Bishara Haroni and Yaron Kohlberg, the preeminent pianists of their generation in their respective homelands – Palestine and Israel – bring "amal," the Arabic word for hope – with a varied repertoire ranging from the baroque to the modern period.
With a theatrical sensibility of wit, style, and heart, Larry Keigwin presents an electrifying brand of contemporary choreography that engages the audience with the sheer unadulterated pleasure of dance. "… astonishing feats of dancing…a parcel of pure explosive energy..." – New York Times
Hailed as one of the most celebrated ensembles in jazz, Vijay Iyer and colleagues Marcus Gilmore (drums) and Stephan Crump (bass) create a powerful, cutting-edge new music that is firmly grounded in groove and pulse, but also rhythmically intricate and highly interactive.
With "quick hands, a voice like lightning" (Wall Street Journal) Afro-Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez leads a quartet of Rhumba virtuosi from Cuba, Venezuela and Peru in a performance of genrebusting musical innovations that remain distinctly soulful and deeply centered.
Complex, sexy, and irreverently imaginative, Tangram redraws the boundaries of dance, new circus, and physical theatre. Created and performed by ballerina Cristiana Casadio and circus artist Stefan Sing, this compelling production from Berlin encapsulates the human struggle.

Miami Dolphins offensive guard Richie Incognito checked himself into a psychiatric care unit in Arizona on Thursday night, according to TMZ.
Incognito, the focus of the team's bullying and harassment scandal, is reportedly seeking counseling to help him deal with stress.
Scottsdale, Ariz., police responded to reported damage to Incognito's Ferrari, which he said he caused. The matter was closed since no crime was committed.
Incognito later told Fox 10 television in Arizona why he smashed his own car with a baseball bat.
"Oh, that was that was just me venting, that was self-expression, that's a piece of art," he said. "The happiest day of my life was when I got that car and now the second happiest day will be when I donate it to charity. The Ferrari is a story unto itself, the Ferrari is one entity, but I will tell you this: the Ferrari is going to be for sale through my mission which is helping the brotherhood, whatever brotherhood it is."
A photo of Incognito's black Ferrari shows several dents in its hood and a baseball bat in front of the vehicle. A part of the bat also was lodged in the car's grille.
Incognito is a free agent and will not return to the Dolphins. He could still face a league suspension as a result of the independent NFL-ordered investigation by Ted Wells into the workplace environment at the Davie, Fla., team facility.
Offensive tackle Jonathan Martin said he's not interested in returning to the Dolphins but could resume his playing career. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, a teammate of Martin's at Stanford, said he would welcome him on his team.
Some teammates are standing behind Incognito, including veteran Bryant McKinnie, despite evidence presented in the Wells report released in mid-February outlining a pattern of abusive language and harassment.

Animism (from Latin anima "soul, life") refers to the belief that non-human entities are spiritual beings, or at least embody some kind of life-principle.
Animism encompasses the beliefs that there is no separation between the spiritual and physical (or material) worlds, and souls or spirits exist, not only in humans, but also in all other animals, plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment. Animism may further attribute souls to abstract concepts such as words, true names, or metaphors in mythology. Animism is particularly widely found in the religions of indigenous peoples, including Shinto, and some forms of Hinduism, Buddhism, Pantheism, and Neopaganism.
Throughout European history, philosophers such as Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, among others, contemplated the possibility that souls exist in animals, plants, and people; however, the currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the 19th century by Sir Edward Tylor, who created it as "one of anthropology's earliest concepts, if not the first".

We really love this oven. We were able to purchase three of these: one for our home and two for the kitchen at our church. The ovens are very dependable and we felt like we got a great price. I am a professional cake decorator and need an oven that is very large for sheet cakes. This foots the bill. Thanks Sears.

I bought this range based on the reviews that were given. Mine must be a lemon. I have been nothing but disappointed. Cakes and cookies that I've baked for years in many different ovens come out burned on the edges and undercooked in the middle. The storage drawer underneath is a flimsy piece of junk. I wish I'd shopped around more.

Just replaced my old range and this one is great. The oven is bigger than my old one, it heats up quickly and the large oven window is great to be able to view what is cooking without opening the door. The cooktop is easy to use and cleans up nicely. Great range.

Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
I've heard so many people say this. Some people say that Korn started to go downhill after "Life is Peachy" and some people say that the first two albums were good and everything past that sucked. Why do you think this is? I for one like all of their albums, and am confused when people say things like that.
Replies to This Posting
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
Back in '94 when Korn first came out you rarely had bands that touched upon subjects like Daddy etc. Then in'96 you had Marylin Manson making it huge with AC Superstar,Pantera's "Great Southern Trendkill",Slayers "Undisputed Attitude", the disappointment of waiting 6 years for a Metallica album only to get "Load" and Sepulturas "Roots". Among those albums was another dark and heavy one called "Life Is Peachy" by Korn which touched upon subjects of wanting to kill your stepmother(which I never got along with mine and although I would never go that far I could relate to the song).
So that for me personally is why the first 2 wre my favorite. By '98,'99 it seemed like every band was copying them yet had great albums. Issues and Follow the Leader didn't shine as much(at least for me) but I never stopped being a Korn fan one way or another.
Who needs prozaic when there's rock n'roll?
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
Without Korn there would be no
Linkin Park
Papa Roach
It feels like something...no, it's nothing
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
for me is like...
Take a look in the mirror
Follow the leader
KoRn III:Remember who you are
See you on the other side
Life is Peachy
yeap..... :P
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
When I first heard ko®n I was not that big a fan. Didnt really like them to be honest. I had friends that were in to them hard core and said that they would never "sell out". The music started getting a little different and started to hit the radio due in part I'm sure to lax rules in what was allowed to be on the radio. This I think some miss took for "selling out". Just because people get older, see life differently, which for singers/bands that is reflected in their music. Does not mean they sold out. It simply means what it is, they got older and see life differently. But you cant explain this to the whole world at once! As I said lax laws by the FCC has allowed different subject matter and in some cases depending on the time of day harsher language. Allowing more of ko®n's music to be played, possibly giving the appearance of selling out to some. This is just a hypothesis. Maybe they just do not see the great music that I see. OR hear in this case.
Just my opinion, but thats what you asked for

i asked the same thing, yu got to it first tho, im tryin ta find out mahself

RE: Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered
Without Korn there would be no
Linkin Park
Papa Roach
What a perfect world that would be.
Also, Issues is Korn's best album.
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
I think a lot of people consider the first 2 albums KoRn's "best" because many of those same people haven't gave any of the newer albums a chance, either that or maybe they just like the sound that they had in the beginning.
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
I cant think of anything that hasnt already been said.
For me the Self Titled is not only my favourite Korn album its also in my top 5 albums list.
Its the same as Slipknot's Self Titled, there is just something there that you just cant really explain.
I Will Never Run Away
Places Inside
My Heart Screams Inside With Pride
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
the first 2 albums are just raw and full of angry emotion that alot of troubled teens could relate to and have that personal connection with, follow the leader is also a pretty raw album with a slight diff sound and some heavier riffs, issues is easily their best produced album the whole album is a masterpeice, untouchables introduces more synth and experimental and lost some of that angry emotion that a lot of people missed, so they brought out take a look in the mirror, which is probs their heaviest album with alot of screaming, syotos went back to experimenting and was their softest album untill they brought out untitled which ended up going softer still, they wanted to make another return to their routes with korn III which is a good album that shew some emotion again but seemed to lach alot without heads guitar, then now youve got the dubstep which is their most expeirmental
its all down to personal taste, for all the people that got into korn as somthing to relate your troubled teens with will obv feel theyve gone downhill abit, while others prefer some of their softer more melodic stuff, for me their first 4 albums are their 'best'
in the sea of life, your just a minnow,
you live your life, insecure,
i feel the pain, of your needles,
as they shit, into my brain..
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
i don't think korn ever went downhill. one of the things i look forward to most is "what will they do next?" if you listen to each of their albums, there's something that sets them aside from the others. i got into korn just before follow the leader and have looked forward to each release since. i'll never forget being a junior in high school listening to korn perform issues live at the apollo on the radio the night before the release. that was just an awesome experience... then when my pre-ordered copy arrived, it blew me away more. so dark... then you have the moments when they step back... like TALITM and Korn III. every so often they revisit what made us all love them in the first place, but then take their music to new and exciting places again just to keep us all guessing. there aren't many bands out there that i know i can buy a new album without hearing a single track and be pleased. i will say that POT took a couple of listens for me. i think just because it was so different from anything else. but the more i listened, the more i dug it and it really grew on me. i love the old korn. i love the new korn. i would still hold the first two on a pedestal just because of what those albums did to me by getting me listening to heavier shit. before then, i was still waving my grunge flag high.
and we're not gonna stop for the pigs or no one!
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
It's no secrete that Korn started to go in a different direction after Peachy and continued to do that their whole career after. The obvious answer is that the first two sound different from the rest of their albums, thus there are people who like that style better than other stuff Korn did. Jonathan started singing about the troubles of being famous in follow the leader and issue, something that fans have a harder time relating to than the lyrics of the 1st two albums.
Also people who listen to albums when they first come out had more of a bias to that older stuff. I think newer fans who get all their albums the same day will feel less bias because they were introduced to it all the same time, no past connection with the older stuff.
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
Because they where fresh?
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
The first two albums are considered "the best" because they are the best. Everything after was overproduced to me. The first two were very raw, real so real I could feel it, honest. And probably theraputic for the band. Everything after seemed more precise and clean, still good. Just more user friendly for the masses. Is it just me on this? how many of you Korn fans out their who love the first two albums really miss the musical build up and the vocal explosions from JD that were in just about every song on the first two albums.
Re: Why are Korn's first two albums considered "the best"?
They're all the best to me. Not sucking up. Just saying.

Gareth Edwards: From Factory Farm to Godzilla
The director's path from Sci-Fi London to Hollywood
"We pulled all our favourite moments from Akira and had this library of reference, so whenever we got stuck, or we ever felt like a sequence wasn't inspired enough, or we didn't know exactly how to give it that edge to made it feel as epic as we could, we would always thumb through the Akira imagery and suddenly get a wave of excitement or a new direction."
Fairy Tail Music: Daisy x Daisy
Tom Smith on Fairy Tail Part 7's opening theme
Little Mika still has a long way to go, but since signing to Pony Canyon she has managed to have a crack at the anime universe, featuring heavily in one series in particular; Fairy Tail.
Patema Inverted
Jonathan Clements on the movie that turns anime on its head
Boy-meets-girl has never been so strange as in this feature, in which the leads must literally cling to each other or fall away to an uncertain fate. Patema Inverted winningly plays with matters of spatial awareness, perspective and weight, regularly flipping its angles until the viewer literally can no longer remember which way is truly up.
The Weird World of Rotoscoping
Andrew Osmond on the history of animation's corner-cutting secret
Rotoscoping and its descendants are an important part of American cinema, and recognised today. Many film fans know, for example, that Gollum, Peter Jackson's King Kong and the rebel anthropoid Cornelius in the Planet of the Apes reboot are all based on physical performances by one actor, Andy Serkis. Again, it's common knowledge that the Na'vi aliens in Avatar were human actors 'made over' by computer – the digital equivalent of those guys wearing prosthetic foreheads and noses in the older Star Trek series.
Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple
The first rule of Kenichi is: big eyes and kick ass.
In the real world, mastering a martial art takes years of devotion. All require a harsh physical regimen that pushes the body to the limit. Of course, we're dealing with the world of anime, so we have a sneaking suspicion that
Shirahama might be able to go from shy, quiet bookworm to martial arts prodigy in a matter of weeks. All it takes to send him on the path to becoming Chuck Norris' worst nightmare is falling for the new girl in class after he sees her single-handedly demolishing a group of thugs.
Wrinkles vs Roujin Z
Animation for the old... there's only one way to settle this... FIGHT!
Wrinkles is a new grown-up Spanish animated film about elderly people in a care home. Hang on a bit, that can't be right. Animation and the elderly; they're two things which have nothing to do with each other. Well, except for...
The Ninja Museum
Stephen Turnbull risks nine deaths in the eye of the ninja storm... or does he?
There is more to the ninja myth than meets the eye. By 1638 all wars had ceased under the police state of the Tokugawa family, yet within twenty years armchair generals were busily writing manuals of military theory, including speculations about sneak attacks, night-fighting and backstabbing.
The King and the Mockingbird
Andrew Osmond on Miyazaki's love for a French classic
The King and the Mockingbird was one of the films which taught Miyazaki and Takahata that you could make an animated feature without following studio formulae – something they strove for themselves as early as Takahata's 1968 Marxist epic The Little Norse Prince.

Hey! You should know that Sony has released a newer version of this product: the Sony Cybershot W370.
Sony Cybershot W55
Editor's Review
The W55 is more than three years old, so we strongly recommend that you buy a newer model with better specs for less money. Check out the W370. Here's what we had to say about the W55 when it was released in January 2007:
Whether clad in precious pink or stunning silver, the Sony Cybershot W55 is a people-pleasing ultracompact. These 7-megapixel cameras are more than enough for the everyday user, and the lithium-ion battery is good for around 400 photos before it needs a refreshing charge. The W55 is also available in light blue and black colors, and a version with a smaller LCD, the W35, is available in silver only.
- 7.2 megapixels
- 3x optical zoom
- Autofocus
- Movie mode with sound
- Memory Stick Duo / Pro Duo memory (56MB internal)
- JPEG file format
- 2.4-inch LCD
- Lithium-ion battery
- Part Number: DSCW55S.CEE8
- Release Date: Jan 22, 2007

pl guide, what to do.
thanks.and regards,
b s harshah
1. Locate the RESET button on the camera.
2. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds.
3. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button.
Performing a manual power reset
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove the button-sized lithium battery.
4. Allow the camera to remain without power for 30 seconds.
5. Reinsert the button-sized lithium battery.
6. Reinsert the battery pack.
7. Turn on the camera.
If your camera is experiencing an issue and the issue is not resolved by performing the appropriate reset procedure above, then service may be required. The Sony® eService Web site at eservice.sony.com/ can assist you in obtaining service from a Sony Service Center or locating a Sony Authorized Servicer.
There's options out there.
You need to use specific memory cards with this camera, specifically Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro media formats. For a full list of compatible media storage types, please see the Sony site ( esupport.sony.com/perl/supp... ). Good luck and happy shooting.
Another tip is to go to Sony's website and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.
However, this shapes up to be yet another proprietary issue for sony as they list it as a "multi plug" for USB, Pictbrige, and AV to computer. This means you need the cable SONY sells. Check page 9-10 of your manual for the diagram and nomenclature. It's a plug near the bottom rear of the camera under the LCD.
Thanks for posting it and Good luck!
But you may want to also go to Sony's website and download the latest software drivers. And while you're at it, you can download a PDF copy of the manual.
to my knowledge, when u connect this camera to the computer, it will be listed as a Mass Storage device (like a pen/thumb drive).
May be, you will have to create an application to access this drive and load the output in the database.
I wonder why you have this unique requirement :) anyway, you may try it.
But before you do, check out darntoothysam.com/servlet/S... Couldn't hurt to find out.
But I just followed that other comments advice and went to darntoothysam.com
I'm sending my camera in for repairs, only $65.10 including shipping costs.
I'd recommend getting it fixed here.
Since price of W35 is comparatively lesser for same tech features.(leave LCD part)
Is there any other important difference between the two (other than LCD) ?
secondly, which shall be better value for money, and shall be purchased ?
What will be the cost in dollar of extra 2G memory for the W35 camera??
You can get one for around $25 at Amazon.com ( amazon.com/SanDisk-MemorySt... ).
The Sony W55 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) does use the same memory as this camera.
If there's no visible impact damage, and your warranty is still in force, they may repair it under the warranty. But chances are, they'll know it was dropped. And as such, it may cost you. But understand that the average cost of a camera repair is around $180. As such, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
One thing you can try is to If you gently, and I do mean GENTLY push against the lens with the PALM of your hand as you turn it on, it may cause it to depress back into the camera. If that doesn't work, and you can't reset it or turn it on/off several times, then you may have to send it in for a repair estimate anyway.
thanx alot!
A lot of the auto settings will cause you to have slower reaction time in your shutter. Low light situations will also contribute to this. A way around it is to push the shutter button half way to lock the focus settings, then push the button the remainder of the distance for a quicker response time. I hope this helps.
I'd recommend Picasa 2 by Google ( picasa.com ). It's free and is a great piece of software.
picasa.google.com/download/... is easy to use and free. It will allow you to change any of your pictures to B&W or sepia, and does many other effects as well. It keeps your photos organized and has tools to correct such things as color balance and exposure level. It even allows you to lighten up the dark places in your photos by adding fill flash. Give it a try. It's fun to use.
Next push the menu button. Use the left-right arrows to move to "color". Use the up/down arrows to select which
color mode you want. Push "menu" button again.
You are allowed to use some of the Color modes while shooting videos (natural, sepia, B&W).
This helped alot and now I know how to change it.
I appreciate the help, and I awarded you the best answer.
Thank you again.
I know this sounds like a stupid question, but did you charge the battery fully before using your camera? A lot of times the first charge can take 8 hours. Also, how many photos have you taken? Did you use a memory card? If you didn't use a memory card at first, then inserted one, you may not be able to see the original photos taken. I hope my rambling has helped. Let me know if it doesn't work and we can troubleshoot some more.
If you are using Vista, your supplied camera's software doesn't support that operating system. The link below has updated software for Vista. If you're not using Vista, make sure your camera is in review or play mode instead of photo mode. That will sync them at times as well. If those don't work, try re-installing the latest software updates from the Sony website (including Vista updates) ( esupport.sony.com/US/perl/s... ). If none of this works, I would try using a memory stick reader ( amazon.com/Eforcity-Premium... ) instead of attaching the camera. I prefer this last method because it saves camera batteries and works much better in most cases without the need for extra software. Good luck and happy shooting.
I have been on ebay and searched NPBG1 BATTERY.
I got alot of hits but they all said replacement batteries.
I want to know, can these batteries work my camera and fit into the NPBG1 battery charger?
cgi.ebay.com.au/NP-BG1-Batt... for the long link, but I couldn't figure out how to make it word linked)
The more I learn about lithium batteries, the more I am inclined to stay away from third party suppliers and just fork over the money for the original brand battery. If you want details, go to www.batteryuniversity.com. Lithium batteries require precise safety measures and some of the cheaper batteries just don't give us the safety we need. These batteries are also subject to counterfeiting so chose your seller wisely to be certain you are getting what you are paying for.
eBay is notorious for selling counterfeit batteries and memory cards. They look just like the real thing but the innards aren't even close to the real thing. You must be cautious here as there really have been fires resulting from these. If you insist, against my advice (and the advice of others like James with over 20,000points on this forum), then at least search on Amazon.com for your replacement batteries.
Best Wishes and take care of yourself,
even the video capture is fab so which-ever one you can get reallly -
buy at least a 2GB card tho to get full potential and capture as many pic and vids as u can :)
As for IS. It's a great feature for beginning photographers or those with a shakey hand. But photographers got along just fine without it for a hundred years or so. A steady hand does wonders. But then again, the IS feature on my Olympus is always on. ;)
BTW - If you're happy with the answer you received, you can simply click on "Mark for best answer" bubble and it will place the question in the "Answered" category for all to see. Thanks for posting it and Good luck!
Thanks in advance
Here's what SONY says:
Knowledge Article C498768
Can the Memory Stick® media that I use with my Sony® digital camera be used with the PlayStation® Portable (PSP™) handheld video game system?
The PlayStation® Portable (PSP™) handheld video game system can use Memory Stick Duo™ and Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media.
Good news is that with a program like VIDEOERA (PC) or HANDBRAKE (Mac) it's relatively easy to convert.
This would be a versatile camera that meets your specifications. If you want to stay with Sony, I would recommend the W55 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). It is a bit more limited when compared to the Olympus 760 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). If I had to choose between the two, I would pick the Olympus 760 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). Good luck and happy shooting.
I am a big fan of the Canon ELPH line. I have had one for 6 years now, and it still works great. You could try the Canon SD1000 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). Its compact size is fantastic to keep in a pocket or purse, and the 7.1 MP resolution will make it great for producing photos at 8x10 or larger (when set at the finest resolution). Good luck and happy shooting.
While the Fuji A900 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) might sound impressive at first with its 9MP resolution, I don't like the image shift software or the low ISO setting options. I prefer to set things more manually. That being said, the new Olympus FE280, looks to have a lot of nice features. If its price fits into your budget, it might be the way to go. My favorite of the group is still the Canon SD1000 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). Good luck and happy shooting.
First, I have to ask if you have the Sony Cybershot W55 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ); it has a 7.2 megapixel resolution. Is this the camera you have?
One of the reasons the camera shutter speed is slower is due the the auto focus. If you have the focal length you want, hold the button halfway down, and that should lock it, so when you push the whole way the camera will react faster.
As for the blurry shots, I'm guessing that you are in lower light situations when this happens. The camera will automatically adjust the shutter opening in those situations to allow more light in. To avoid this more, I would set your camera at ISO 1000 to allow more light in. You might see some graininess in the photos, but you will avoid the blurs.
If you would like to get a new camera all-together, I would recommend the Canon SD870 IS ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). It is one of the highest rated compact cameras on the site, has a larger ISO setting range, image stabilization (which will futher help to avoid blurry shots in low light settings), and you white balance can be manually adjusted to further "tweak" the camera to work better in low light situations. I hope this helps.
You might need to play with the settings to get your current camera, as well as any future camera, to work better in low light settings. That is where the image stabilization, setting a higher ISO number, and switching to a shutter priority mode. This camera does not have a shutter priority, but it does have a nightshot mode, which will essentially speed up your shutter speed, which you want to avoid the blurry shots. I hope this helps.
could you please suggest me an ultracompact pocket camera that i use mostly in indoors as i have a small kid.i am really confused between canon sd 870 is and canon 1000.i read in the reviews that canon 1000 is not good for lowlights and to take pics of kids as it comes blurrry but i like its size and 870 is bit big than sa 1000.i torn between two which to choose.this chirstmas i need to buy for everyday use as i need to click my baby photos to cherish them for long time.thanku andrew in advance i know u will suggest me good one.
If you like the Canon cameras and are looking for something that will perform a little better in low light with children, I would recommend something with manual exposure settings and image stabilization. The two cameras you mentioned don't have the manual settings, but the Canon SD 850 IS ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) does. This camera has the ability to change the exposure settings manually to adjust better to low light situations. It is a bit bigger but that is to make room for the optical viewfinder which is nice on sunny days when you can't see the LCD screen as well. I hope this helps; good luck and happy shooting.
I love my Cannon SD850. It is a great camera for the price! It is small enough to fit in my purse so it goes almost everywhere with me. It does not have a great deal of shutter lag which I appreciate since I have quick moving children! I find that my only problem with slow shutter comes when I am shooting indoors with a flash and my battery is on it's last leg. Otherwise it is very quick to shoot. I have also figured out that the continuous shutter works best in well-lit outdoor situations where the flash is not required.
It also includes a viewfinder which I find is a must-have feature.
I have gotten some incredible shots with this camera in the last few months thanks to the tips and techniques I have gotten from the wonderful people on this board!
Amy S.
What's your budget? Are you looking to stay in the SONY family or are you open to alternatives?
Also I like the Nikon s51 and Panasonic TZ3 I have only 24 hrs to decide my husband says so he can get it for xmas. Its hard as everyone complains about something on every camera. I want a camera that works and has a decent size screen I love the 3.0 but I want the battery not to die on me. What is your suggestion on these cameras. Help please. Signed, Dazed and Confused
I know that SONYs are popular, and certainly the W55 is a popular option. However, I have issues with them. My beef with SONY is that they tend to force their customers into proprietary technologies such as the memory stick, their own spin on formatting, and a host of others.
Cameras like Panasonic or Canon rely on more standardized SD cards, which are pretty much the standard in point and shoot for memory cards. This means you can use any you happen to currently have and they are much cheaper than memory sticks. You can also use them in other technologies like PDAs, DMPs, and even mp3 players, whereas that memory stick is only going to be used in another SONY.
This may not be a big deal for you. But I still like the TZ3 because of it's better optical zoom for a compact camera. That's nice.
Did Aditya answer your question to your satisfaction? Have you tried the suggestions? If you need further help with this subject let us know. If the problem is solved you may want to thank Aditya by giving credit for the "Best Answer". Thanks. Larry
I went through the camera's manual ( docs.sony.com/release/DSCW5... ) and could not find a way to display the date and time on the image. You can look it up on the camera though. Page 20 of the manual ( docs.sony.com/release/DSCW5... ) describes how to look it up. I also know that many cameras record the date and time of the picture in the JPEG file. When you download them to the computer, you can usually mouse over the image in the folder it's in and see when you took the photo and with what type of camera. This works on my Windows system. I'm not sure it will work with LINUX or a MAC. I hope this helps.
If your camera doesn't do this automatically, you can edit the time stamp in yourself with photo-editing software. The time is imprinted digitally in the photograph's file info. If you have a PC, you can scroll over the image in explorer to see the images information. You can then use a text box to put the image date on yourself. I hope this helps.
When in shooting mode, just press this a few times until the LCD show the "lighting bolt" symbol inside a circle with a diagonal slash across it.
If this isn't clear, you can always consult your manual!
This is a good camera, and Sony is known for the video recording ability of it's digital cameras. I would say Sony and Canon do the best of video recording on their digital cameras. For the price, this is a great camera for what you get.
No way, this is a bad suggestion!
The W55 requests a proprietary battery, so when he needs more energy, he shoud own a second battery identical to the original...
But If he's going to buy every other photocamera using common AA batteries, he'll never have problems, since everywhere, in every market, shop, store, etc. they sell alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
But this last time nothing worked so i restarted it about three times still nothing
then i gently with my palm tapped applying slight pressure to the lense, this also about three times, it worked but the picture was blurry i then turned it on and off twice, and it was good as new.
Weird, but it works.
What is the max coverage (distance) with zoom for good quality pictures
As I am going to purchase DC for the first time, any other suggestions ($200 to $250 range cameras) would be greatly appreciated.
For comparable (and, IMO, better) cameras, look at the Canon SD750 (better picture quality, bigger screen, still no optical image stabilization, and about 250 shots on a battery charge). If you want a really awesome camera and don't mind going slightly outside your price range, you can have the SD850IS for just shy of $275 (possibly cheaper if you hunt around): amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-... You'll save the price difference of $25 on your first memory card, by buying the cheaper SD cards instead of Sony's annoyingly proprietary Duo sticks. The Canon SD750 will run $220 or less. The SD850IS also has a slightly (read: neglible) higher 4x optical zoom.
i own a canon S5. its uneasy to carry it to places. i need a pocket cam which is very good in macro capability. i am let down by the Sony Mem Card and batteries. Please suggest an alternative camera.
Much Needed:
Very close Macro
Sharp pictures
thanks for your time.
Are you in a certain price range? The SD850IS is down to $275, which is a GREAT price, but I'm not sure if you were looking at something cheaper.
The new Canon SX100IS has a .5" macro and, although not as small as ultracompacts, it's much easier to carry than the S5IS and has 10x optical zoom as well. But that may not be enough of a size compromise.
I'd take a look at the SD850IS and see if that's something you're looking for. You can see a few good macro shots at this site: flickr.com/search/?q=sd850&...
Thank you
If you haven't ever purchased this type of adapter, just E-mail Sony and they will let you know exactly what you need. But there are tons of options for an adaptor plug that fits over the recharging plug to converter voltage correctly.
Here is to contact Sony. Just fill in the W-55 pink and your contact E-mail information so they can get back to you.
esupport.sony.com/US/perl/e... like this is what I'm guessing you're looking for, though: amazon.com/Kensington-33117...
Canon's philosophy is more standardized and open source. if you have old SD cards, they'll work in a new SD1K. If you go with SONY, you have to reinvest in more expensive and slower memory sticks. Not worth it for a marginal edge in the macro range.
I'd go Canon.
As for printers, there are some really good ones out there. One I like is the Epson PictureMate. Prints 4.x6 prints that are sharp, colorful, and you can plug your card directly into it and bypass the need for a computer. But seriously, it's probably just easier (and perhaps cheaper when you consider ink cartridge and photo printer paper costs) in the long run to take that card to a 1Hr photo printer or Kodak Kiosk and have them printed. You plug in the card and just follow the instructions to print the shots you want. For about .25 or so per print, it's not a bad deal.
You can embed the date and time using this software during printing time.
Alternatively, you can download Magitime from the internet and this will also let you print date and time on your picture and save the pictures with date to another folder in your computer without altering your original pictures.
Hope to be helpful,
Brenda's right. Super Steady Shot isn't mentioned anywhere on the Sony site's page for the W55 ( sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/st... ), and it's something they nearly always devote a paragraph to when it's present in the product. Looks like no image stabilization in this one.
Is the W55's Soft Snap feature like the Portrait feature of the 740?
Both cameras use proprietary mem cards, a turn-off for me right there. I think the all-weather feature would be cool---plus I think the Olympus is good down to 15 feet of water? So it would be neat for the beach, or snorkeling.
But what it just may come down to is what camera feels good in your hand. Go to a local camera store and check both out side by side, holding them, feeling their center of gravity, the balance. How it sits in your hand. That usually sells me one way or the other.
One thing, howener, in my opinion, it's a good idea to steer clear of SONY, as they tend to force their customers into proprietary technologies such as the memory stick, their own spin on formatting, and a host of others things.
the MV -- is that MY VOTE?
what is the YMMV
Richio - YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary.
The first place you should look is at the user's manual, which should point out most of the important functions as well as care instructions for the camera and accessories. For further info on that, I can tell you that the main issue for caring for the camera is to be gentle with it, particularly around the lens mechanism- dirt getting stuck in the lens, or jarring the lens, can cause an error in any digital camera, so consider the lens and the LCD as the most delicate parts of the camera. Any camera, not just this one. =)
If you want to read tons of details on the features of your camera, here are a few great sites to check:
dcresource.com/reviews/sony... of those are review sites that walk you through your camera step by step. When people lose their user's manuals, I usually direct them to one of those sites, so they should definitely help you!
If that's the case, why isn't this fact mentioned in reviews? Cause that sucks big time, I already have a bunch of rechargeable batteries and spending more is just silly. The same goes for their proprietary Memory Stick cards, which are almost twice as expensive as SD cards, which is a huge minus for me!
The main point is NP-BG1 is small and flat, so the space provided in the battery compartment won't accept AA size battery and you need not pay extra when you buy Sony W55 because the battery and charger are included in the box. see <a href="imaging-resource.com/PRODS/... review</a>
The price of Memory Stick has dropped probably because Sandisk and Lexar are also producing it.
1 gig Sandisk Memory stick Pro Duo now sells for $19.99. see <a href="amazon.com/SanDisk-Memory-S... this advertisement</a>. Original Sony 1gig sells for $21.49 and 1 gig Sandisk SD card can cost as much if not more. see <a href="dealtime.com/xPO-Sandisk-SD... advertisement</a>
Based on the above, you should not let the battery issue and the memory stick issue stop you from buying the camera. More so when rechargeable Ni MH do get degraded with time and doesn't retain it's charge beyond few days after sometime.
There is a picture of the Sports pack at <a href="imaging-resource.com/PRODS/... site</a> under the User Report.
The statement "...... As is usually the case, you cannot use the zoom lens during filming ...." <a href="dcresource.com/reviews/sony... this review</a> probably sound disappointing to W55 fans but it helps to clear the matter.
it is hard for me to decide which one to buy
help please..
With respect to the number of pictures the internal memory can 'take' depends largely on the file size. W55 can take pictures in file sizes of 2592 x 1944, 1600 x 1200 and 1280 x 960 and the larger the file size, the less number of pictures can be taken.
If you buy a 1 gig card, it will take approximately 394 pictures for the largest files size, 1015 for the second and 1549 for the smallest.
However, if you stick to the 56 MB internal memory, yes, you probably end up with only 16 pictures at the largest file size.
i had the same problem
Unfortunately, no... the W55, like many cameras in its class, severely limits the access the user has to manual settings like shutter speed. The closest you can get is the camera's Auto Program mode, but that won't allow for the kind of fine adjustments you want.
The only other thing I can think of is if you have a thumb-drive... then you can do the same thing as a burned-CD would do, except faster and more convenient with the thumb-drive.
try filling it with pictures from your pc in your card reader.
Is the card size compatable with the camera?
have you formatted the card useing the cameras format command?
may well be a faulty card or camera
I take it that the camera shoots fine on internal memory?
I can't take it to the authorised dealer because I bought it at circuit ciry in miami but I live in Nicaragua, Central America... please help! how did you solve it??
A simple way to get your pictures is to use a memory card reader, rather than hooking up the camera to a pc itself. Just take the card out and plug it into to the MCR. They're about $10 and well worth the money.
Then I would do what Brenda suggests, but go one step further. Try a piece of software called F-Recover. It may be able to recover any pictures lost/corrupted. Then reformat in the camera.
Good luck.
I take it your computer has a multi-card reader of some sort? Probably takes SD, CompactFlash, MemorySticks, etc?
When you insert the card, exactly what happens? Anything? Nothing? Does the mouse pointer turn into an hourglass for a second, or is it as if nothing happened?
If it seems like nothing's happening, once it's in try opening My Computer and see if there are any drives listed under your hard drive as "removable storage." If there are, double click on them and see what's inside--one of them might have your photos on it.
Let me know if any of this helps.
F31D Fuji Finepix, and SD800IS (or SD700IS) Canon Powershot. But the SD600 is still a very nice camera (there's a reason it's still $200 even though it's been discontinued for the newer models!)
My old Camera was Kodak but it broke, my friends told me that it broke cause I keep taking pictures in it.
When I was uploading my pictures from kodak by using a USB. When I woke up to check my pictures on it just to take a look at it, it suddenly have a clear black screen :0
so yeah will this camera also do the same thing?
well, the question is still the same- why did it break? Cameras don't break because you are using them for picture taking. But if you take it everywhere you go then it breaks because sometimes you happen to be in heavy rain or sand storm for example... So you might look for a camera that is weather and shock proof. Olympus makes few of them. Also, Leica cameras should last through your entire life...
I saw that W80 got face detection and steadyshot... Is this worth of $50 or the W55 is more than enough??
I need this camera to every-day use... some product reviews, personal use, etc... I already got 2GB memory stick waiting for this cam =D
no, I would not pay that extra money for those features. The manual focus makes more sense to me but if you will not need it then go for the W55.
Another question, I know that the Sony W55 is a great camera, because I've seen that on the reviews around web... the Sony W80, I haven't check many reviews... is there any cons about the W80 if not looking about the price??
Because... I think I'll be able to get an $50 off at staples... what makes the W80 the same price of W55 :) ... and I'll probably change the choice of W55 for W80, and not paying more =)
what you think guys?
As for their photo quality ... here's a breakdown of the good and the bad from a recent review I've read:
"What I liked:
* Very good photo quality
* Stylish, compact metal body
* Enormous LCD display (though see issue below)
* Impressive high ISO performance for a compact camera
* Snappy performance in most areas
* Some manual controls
* AF-assist lamp; good low light focusing
* Built-in photo album
* Enhanced slideshow feature, plus the ability to "paint" over images
* Nice movie mode
* Great battery life
* Support for USB 2.0 High Speed protocol
What I didn't care for:
* Redeye
* Custom white balance is badly needed
* Big LCD attracts fingerprints
* Sluggish burst mode; LCD blacks out between shots
* No optical viewfinder
* Flimsy cover over memory card / battery compartment
* Bundled software isn't the greatest, no Mac version"
the cameras from all well-known brands last very long if you take good care of them. At the same time, the technology improves so fast that you will want to get a new camera not because your old camera stopped working, but because you want to have better and newer one...
-Put camera in Playback mode (same mode you use to review photos you've taken)
-Push Menu
-You should see a row of icons down the left of the screen. Use the arrow to scroll to the bottom one, which will bring up a menu called Setup 2
-The first option is called Beep; here you can choose Off to turn off the camera sounds.
Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll keep looking.
Since yours is a DSC model it is just a little different. Put the camera in Playback mode and push Menu as described above. You should see four pictures appear on the left of the screen- a camera (for Camera Setup), a thing that kind of looks like a memory (for Memory Stick Menu), and then a menu 1 and a menu 2. Go to Menu 1 (third icon down) and scroll down to Beep. You can choose On, Off or Shutter. Shutter is the sound it makes when you fire a shot; since you don't want the sound when you turn it on, try choosing Off and see if it solves it. Let me know if that doesn't help.
to turn the volume up...you press the playback button and on the bottom of the screen you will see volume written with a down arrow on its left...press the down arrow and then adjust the volume with the left and right arrows.
P.S. If your shy and don't want to type your info, just type it! I need info peeps! THANKS! :)
Use your mouse to right click the selected picture.
You will be presented with a window showing, among other things, 'properties'.
Clicking on the word 'properties' will lead you to another screen showing the date and time picture was taken.
To emboss the time and date you have to use the Sony software that came with the camera. Click on the picture, then click on the "edit" button, and the option is the last option.
TODAY, right now... I just saw in this site: www.6ave.com (store), two different Sony W55, take a look:
Sony DSC-W55/P 7.2MP Cyber-shot Digital Camera - Silver = U$199
link: 6ave.com/shop/product.aspx?... DSC-W55 7.2MP Cyber-shot Digital Camera - Silver = $199
link: 6ave.com/shop/product.aspx?... price, but the model that have the "P" after the model #, like "W55/P" has image stabilization in the description, following the W55/P from this site:
> 7.2MP resolution
> 6x total precision zoom
> 42x total zoom
> SteadyShot image stabilization
source: 6ave.com/shop/product.aspx?... is it?!?! Is it REALLY correct?! It's like the normal W55 killer?! Why should someone buy a W55 without image stabilization if there is a model with this GOOD feature.. ?!?!
What about this "42x total zoom"?!!?
... anyone can confirm? Because I gotta buy the W55 as soon as possibe. I'm probablying buying at BH&Video, but they are going to receive order only after April 10, ... so, DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN GOOD STORE SUGGESTION to buy a Sony W55 for a good price??
well... if someone have any suggestion! hehe
I'm also waiting Brad with the 6ave.com response!
... Could someone check me what is the best deal? Without looking the price...
Sony W55 or W70??
Well... I'm in a REALLY HARD decision... but... I don't know... well, I don't have probs in prices because I can find both of these cameras for "same price" ... but I've seen things saying that W70 got USB1.1 instead the USB2.0 used in W55.
The W70 model also is not listed in the Sony Style webiste... Maybe getting "discountinued" ??? So... many things making me go for the W55, and once again, It was launched 1 year after W70, and I believe that Sony could have time to fix any issue/bugs that was in the W line.
Please, if ANYBODY else has a comment/suggestion/information... please post! I'm probablying going to buy the Sony W55 + 1GB stick + simple case for around $250 shipped... VERY probably before the next 3 days, so, If I come back here and don't see any replies, I'm going to do that..
I need the "conclusion", like... go for that because this this this... heheh, I just need a help to buy a good dig. camera and I gotta buy in less than 2-5 days =/
ps: does someone knows the MAIN diff in canon SD600 and SD630??
Thanks guys!!!
I just saw this review of W70, digitalcamerareview-cnet.co... and the editor said that the Sony W5x series is a better value than the W70.
Looks like the W70 and W55 question is getting in the end... ending up with W55! (black or silver?? LOL)
Question: Does someone know if the Sony W55 can be used as webcam?? I saw something like in the Sony support pages, but they didn't metioned about the Sony W5x series.
I want to buy this Sony W55 for BEST price and quality (shipment, customer care, etc...).
I also need accessories, bags, etc..
What w55 has extra:
(1) More low resolution options: 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1632 x 1224, 64 x 480 compared to 2592 x 1944, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480 for W 70
(2) Extra Image ratio Option: 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 against 4:3, 3:2 for W 70
(3) Higher Flash guide no.: 3.9 m (12.7 ft) 9 m against 2.4 m (7.8 ft) 4 m of W-70
What W-70 has extra
(1) Better Digital Zoom (2X)
(2) Option for Manual Focus - 5 Steps
(3) Internal Memory - 58mb against 56mb in w-55
Other Differences:
Normal focus range - 30cm in W-55 against 50cm in W-70
Good Luck!
What do you recommend?
Thank you for your help in making this decision. I have not opened the camera box, so I can return the camera within the next week for a full refund.
well, it always depend on what you want and need. Manual controls and lens thread make the A540 certainly much more advanced camera than the other two. The Sony, however, has nice video capability with sound. So first of all think about when, where, how often and for what your girlfriend will use the camera. Then it would be much easier to decide.
Given a lack of reviews on the Sony DSC-W55, I merely want to know what the experts think about how it compares to the Canon A540 and the Canon SD600. I realize the Sony DSC-W55 might be too new to make an assessment. However, my research to date seems to indicate Canon cameras are generally rated better than Sony cameras. If this this accurate, then it might be most prudent to purchase one of the two Canon cameras on which there are reviews which are positive. I would appreciate it if anyone can provide some advice I can use to make this purchase decision.
Thank you very much. I hope you have a great day.
Mel Hurston
hope this info is not too late
after going thru the details u hv send, i suggest u to go for canon 540 or may be canon 630- which is an excellent camera(just check out the reviews), as u mentioned tht ur gf is looking for shooting landscapes , so for tht u need a bit high end camera something like a630 , moreover talking abut ratings, canon and nikon are generally rated ahead of sony, u can also hv a look on nikon p3 which has got excellent results along with wi-fi capabilities
" DSC-W55 also has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo⢠or Memory Stick PRO Duo⢠media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture Station⢠digital printer (sold separately)."

I have owned 3 Sony cameras of similar model. The first one the LCD screen broke (cracked) while taking a picture. Honestly I did not drop it. Sony would not fix it staing I must have dropped it. I bought another one because I had the battery, and Pro-duo card. The next one I bought, I had troubles with the lens not coming out. You have to pop it w/ your hand or pull a bit on the lens to dislodge the gears. I need this camera for my business, so after beating the crap out of the 2nd one and getting nowhere but frustrated, I was forced to buy another one because I had card and batteries. I swore I wouldn't buy another one , but I found the W-55 (7.2) one sale (less than $100) so I bought another one. One year later the same thing has happened. I will give Sony props though. I am a home inspector, so I take these cameras into dirty places. But I have read that the lens getting stuck is common problem. When the lens will not fully retract, the thing will not work. Eventually it will cease to come out at all.
Battery life is excellent, picture quality is average, movie mode is garbage. Needlesstosay, I will not buy any more... even if it is on sale.

I use this camera in my job. I have taken thousands of pictures (kitchen renovation - before and after) I am not a photographer and the shots are fabulous and it is incredibly easy to use. However, just as it past the 1-year mark - the lens will not come out. Sony however said they could fix it for a flat rate of $91 (includes shipping to Georgia) so I am making a decision to replace it or fix it. But it is a great little camera

This is a very nice camera. The picture quality, the movie mode, the facilites, the functions are vast and quite satisfactory. However, blurred images and red-eye problems are there but can be avoided if snaps are taken carefully, not really the issues! Still, this one is good especially for indoor photography! As far as outdoor photography is concerened, the objects like trees, flowers and plants need to be closed for up to the mark performance! Not a regrettable one in short!

This camera has a lot of great features, like how if you dont use it for a while and its still on it'll turn off, or how you can zoom in really close, and it has a kind of laser light so you can focus on exactly what you want to capture. Great for taking pictures of urself.

I loved this camera very much until it broke but other then that this camera take geat pictures in light and dark. I also watched pictures and videos on tv and the videos didnt mess up at all.
P.S. I believe i broke the camera by keep dropping it

I bought the DSC-W50 (the predecessor to the W55—the W50 isn't listed here) for my wife just over a year ago. We travel every year and so she wanted a reliable compact camera that would last.
We figured that Sony was a good bet. We were wrong. During the middle of a trip to Mexico the camera stopped working; one day it turned off (with the lens still extended) and never turned back on. It will cost over $100 to have it repaired.
You must be joking.
After researching the problem, I found that not only were there dozens of complaints about the W50 (and W55) but that this issue extended to many, many other Sony models that use the same technology. There are hundreds of irate customers out there with Sony cameras that have stopped working, and most typically just months after the 1-year warranty period has expired.
Inform yourself:
All the complaints are the same: Won't turn on; Lens doesn't open/close; Won't take pictures, etc.
We now have a $240 Sony brick thanks to faulty engineering that is shared among ALL Cyber-shot models.
Trust me, buy a Canon.

I bought this camera for a trip to China. We got some great pics day and night. City lights showed well, the flash did well for portrait night shots. Bus tours were not so successful - bleary since we were moving. Overall, good camera.
Only problem, is the zoom lever is difficult to control, and now it is in being serviced because the lever is jammed. Service tech says it's unusual, he still recommends Sony for low service calls.

I am a lay-person when it comes to cameras. I haven't owned one since the days of 35mm film. But to capture those moments I can't stand to miss out on, I started doing some research. I wanted a camera between $150-$250 (preferably cheaper, as the memory card will add to the price). I need the camera I picked to take good long-range and portrait pictures, as well as decent indoor (fluorescent) ones.
My selections came down to just a handful, and I decided on the w55. It seemed like such a good deal, especially since the refurbished camera was 10% off the original price. (Of course, in retrospect, the mountain of refurbished stock should have sent off some warning lights in my head.)
The w55 did well in full light and long-distance shots. Portraits were a breeze. And I loved the ease of scrolling through the menus! This camera was a joy! But at night, the lovable Hyde became a Jekyll; suddenly, every shot I tried to take gave me a "shaky hand" warning and came out VERY blurry. The flash was awful as well. Not just one bring flash, but three in a row, so bad that my fiance refused to pose for any pictures. I tried different settings, but the joy I had experienced with settings that afternoon became a horror. The pictures became hazier and grainier the more I tried to fix the problem. And that shaky hand warning...! Oh, how I loathed it!
In the end, I ended up taking my w55 back to the store and purchasing a Canon SD1000 instead. The Canon isn't as user-friendly, but the upgrade is, imho, well-worth the extra $20. Shaky-hand warnings still pop up, but there is a button (or series of buttons) to push to focus/raise the ISO further.
If you are looking for a casual vacation camera, I'd honestly go with the w55 for the convenience. However, if the quality of your pictures is aq concern, the SD1000 is a better camera.

Camera took excellent pictures for 5 months. The worst operational problem is the selection knob on the camera. I moves so easy, that the setting changes just from handling the camera. It has to be checked frequently to make sure it has not moved. However, after 5 months, LCD screen stopped working. Sony warranty will not repair the screen. Sony does not honor their warranty on this camera. Look for a more durable camera with a better warranty.

i, myself, bought me a Kodak z812, and chose for my parents this little body.. sony w55.. and guess what, i fell in love with it right away...
one thing that may bother you, is the battery door. but i haven't experienced any problems yet, however it is plastic.. and you could feel it.
otherwise, super cam. picture quality, amazed me. performance also. features, all that you may need and a little more. look - cute. sounds nice :)
battery life super long. in other words, i'm jelous to give it to my parents.. macros just fabulous, all flowers become twice the size of my monitor.. beautiful.

I got the camera as a graduation gift and I am veeeery pleased with the beautiful photos the camera takes, however time and time again my camera had many problems. The lens didn't retract and i had to send it to get repaired. it wouldn't allow me to look at the photos i took at all (and after getting it fixed it still doesn't allow me to look at them sometimes) for the picture quality, the camera is excellent, but a lot of money was put into this camera and its constantly giving me problems. i would recommend the camera, but GET A WARRANTY.

I must admit that I've owned ONLY Sony cameras recently, as I believe they're the best. I don't care if you have to pay slightly more for them—they're worth it! I just pop this one in my pocket and go. It's wonderful. And, the photos are fabulous!

just what everyone else says, great deal for the money. I guess it's been replaced by another higher mega-pixel model but really who needs more than 7? Purchased an underwater case for $34 off B&H.com that makes this little camera an amazing deal. Like everyone else has said, it does best in bright conditions (like the beach).

This camera is small, and built solid.The on screen menu,and scene shot selection is very helpful.The lens is automatically completely retracted,and protected when the camera is turned off.It is very easy to use in the total auto mode,and takes excellent pictures,yet in other modes many manuel adjustment options are available.The memory can be expanded greatly with the Sony memory stick duo,but in my opinion, for most people, if you buy a extra 1gb stick duo you will have the ability to take hundreds,and hundreds of pictures before you have to download,and erase.The battery lasts a long time,before it needs to be recharged.The best feature I found so far is during the review option,when you zoom in for a closer look at the picture,if you like the zoomed picture,which you can also adjust side to side and up,and down,with this camera you can actually save the adjusted picture,and still retain the original,this is great feature to remove unwanted objects from your picture.The last feature I will mention is the fact it has a viewfinder,which many camera's its size no longer have,this is very useful in bright sunlight,when the screen is difficult to see.This camera can also auto focus in poor light conditions,because it has a low light focus illuminator.
All in all this is one great little camera,with many features,some of which I have not yet explored
I think I made the right choice in buying it.

This is my second sony because I dropped them both into the ocean. Yes I HAVE learned my lesson! However I love this carmera when I would go out with my friends it fit perfect in my purse and easy to use while intoxicated. However it does not take very good fast action shots and the dial to change the setting is easily moved so when you took your last picture it might have been on auto but it might not be on auto for your next picture so check before snapping. I am now buying a cannon because it was a great camera before I got my sony. The main reason I got this sony was for vanity, I mean it is pink!

I am really impress with the video quality of this camera,its simply amazing!,I am not very much satisfied with the images especially in low-light,However one of the reason I got this camera over canon is because of its appearance which is simply fabulous,price and lithium batteries which in other camera is offered at a higher price.

its an excellant camera and probably the best in this price range. Photos are crisp and clear in good lighting conditions and under the flash. just one problem is that picture quality is not good in low light conditions.

Nice looks bt nt so good photography.Photos are terrible in low light condition as the flash is limited to around 5-6 feet.Outside photo graphy in daytime is good bt only 3X Zoom doesnt make any sense.I will advice you 2 look at some other cameras before buying the W55.I have checked the DSC H9.Its more than excellent.

This is my third digital camera. I bought it as a every day camera. After using three weeks, I hate to say it, but my Nikon D-70 is going to spend a lot of time in the closet. I am impressed with the quality of the pictures it takes, as well as it's features.For instance, it has a very useful micro mode. Like Fuji, Sony takes good pictures at high ISO levels. It also has a viewfinder-a rarity in small cameras today and still needed in bright sun light. The flash is decent for a camera this size. All at a price of $200.
If you are interested in a small point-and shoot, consider the W-55 Sony.

I purchase sony cybershot w55 1 month back. It is a marvellous item from sony.Performance/picture quality is mind boggling.I found only one demerit in this item is that it does not allow date stamping in picture. However date stamping can be done using Picture Motion Software provided with this camera but inserting the date by going through individual file is a bit cumbersome.
